NEWARK – -- If Martin Brodeur has given the Devils a list of teams he'll go to in a trade, as TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Twitter, which teams are they?

One probably was the Minnesota Wild, who opted instead for a trade with the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday for another veteran goalie, Ilya Bryzgalov.

And it's likely the Montreal Canadiens (Brodeur's hometown team) are on the list, too -- if general manager Lou Lamoriello can pull off a deal before the NHL's 3 p.m. Wednesday deadline.

The Canadiens, who are third in the Eastern Conference with 75 points, could be looking for goalie insurance because Carey Price, their star goalie, was placed on IR this week.

Other possibilities for where Brodeur could land?

Although the Penguins’ offensive system may not fit Brodeur's style, the Pens might want a playoff-tested goaltender. Marc-Andre Fleury was the Penguins goalie when they won a Stanley Cup in 2009 but he's been shaky in recent playoffs. Fleury was benched last spring for most of the team's run to the Eastern Conference finals. Then, the Penguins turned to veteran Tomas Vokoun. Their No. 2 this season is rookie Jeff Zatkoff.

Brodeur might be willing to go to the Washington Capitals, who are competing with the Devils for a final playoff spot in the East and don't have strong goaltending. But would the Devils trade Brodeur to a team they're battling for a postseason berth?

And, if Brodeur is willing to relocate to the midwest, the Chicago Blackhawks, a Western Conference power, might want a better backup for No. 1 goalie Corey Crawford as they chase a second consecutive Stanley Cup.

All of the speculation will end Wednesday afternoon, of course, but the anticipation likely will turn the Devils' noon practice into a circus.

Told Martin Brodeur has submitted a list to Lou Lamoriello of the teams he's willing to waive his NTC to go to. (8-9 teams)....
